Internet Drugs Falsely Claim to Prevent, Treat STDs

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is alerting consumers about certain drugs they may have purchased over the Internet.

The products are sold as:
Tetrasil
Genisil
Aviralex
OXi-MED
Imulux
Beta-mannan
Micronutrient
Qina
SlicPlus

The products falsely claim to prevent or treat a variety of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including:
herpes
chlamydia
human papillomavirus (HPV)
cervical dysplasia
HIV/AIDS

Some of these products falsely claim to have "FDA Approval" and some claim to be "more effective" than conventional medicine. Examples of claims that these products make include
"Treatment Kills all Herpes Viruses WITHOUT having to use conventional drugs or medications"
"Greatest STD Protection Without Condoms"
"The active ingredient in our product is FDA certified to destroy 99.9992 percent of all pathogenic organisms [i.e.] Chlamydia"

Why Consumers Should be Concerned
"STDs are very serious diseases and these products give consumers a false sense of security that they are protected from STDs," says Janet Woodcock, M.D., Director of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.

What Consumers Should Do
Stop using these products immediately.
Contact your health care professional if you have used any of these products and experienced any bad reactions.
